Temporary event licences and permits

It's easy to host small indoor live performance events in Vancouver, with simpler requirements, faster approvals, and cheaper licence fees. Learn about the arts event licence, and apply for your next event.

Combat sport events (mixed martial arts or MMA, boxing, kickboxing, and wrestling) that are open to the public and sell tickets need a business licence. Apply for this licence here, at least 30 business days before your event.
